This team peaked two years ago during the NBA finals. Dirk is a good regular season player, that is it. This team does not have what it takes to win the NBA. It is just as well. Should have traded forKobe when they had the chance.

NAUGHTY
Trenton Hassell: Expected to be a big improvement over Greg Buckner, starting to wonder if Buck would have been better to hold onto.
Avery Johnson: Can't stick to his pre-season game plan and is constantly dogging out young guys and role players.

NICE
Brandon Bass: Is working his butt off to be a part of the Mavs rotation with nary a complaint when he isn't getting playing time.
Mark Cuban: Has avoided being a distraction and is around enough to appear involved.
